Rowan West is the pseudonym of a 40 year old wife, mother and writer who
is currently resides in New England   In my various professional choices I
have worked in a hotel (including housekeeping - much to my mom's
amusement and bewilderment), been a head hunter, a non-profit fund raiser
and event planner, and had a direct selling business.  

The quote at the top of this page is from a favorite erotica author of mine.  
Anais Nin was a bold woman and commited writer who's fiction includes her
own journals.  She believed her life was hers live as she chose and to make up
if she desired.  I don't agree with all of Anais' choices (no kids, two
husbands), but I do believe in embracing passion.   I have lived without
passion in my life - and it's not worth it.  I look for it where I can, am drawn
to it when I find it, and encourage it as much as possible.

Now in addition to all the other joys in my life, I live vicariously though my
characters and those of other writers when I need to leave reality behind.
